Mr Jack Davenport as Norrington, or, an object lesson in the powers of long hair and a bit of roughing up.
He's an excellent actor who has been around for quite a while here in the UK. As Miles in This Life, DS Michael Colefield in Ultraviolet, and Steve in Coupling, he's clean-cut, well-spoken, handsome but just not (in my humble opinion) very sexy. He played the same kind of character in the first Pirates of the Caribbean: the uptight Commodore Norrington. In a curled white wig and starched British Navy uniform, he just didn't do it for me.
Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is a different matter entirely. Norrington's had a tough time. He's lost his job and ended up as a violent drunk on the island of Tortuga. These hard times haven't been good for his health or his happiness, but god it's made him sexier.
And the new, sexy, dishevelled, leather-clad Norrington gets to take part in this fabulously exciting three-way long-haired pirate swordfight. Mmmmmmmmm. Oh yes. (Make of that what you will, Mrs Candy!)
